To be fair, it's not something that shows up in most depictions of D&D devils.

They may have understood it, but they didn't necessarily like it. Avery Brooks in particular is on record as seriously disliking it, which may have something to do with its reputation.

You may be misremembering. The Doctor used the few stray particles trapped inside the Pandorica when it closed to reconstruct the universe, much like the Total Perspective Vortex in The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy extrapolated the entire universe from a small cupcake. The belief of all...

"You think so little of me that you can't even be bothered to turn up on time? That is soooo hot."

If you've enjoyed a show for decades, do you drop it the moment you perceive a drop in quality?

One problem is that the show is inconsistent in its definitions. Like, when they talk in this episode about gods who are fed by stories and are essential to humanity such that killing them would inflict terrible harm on the world, I don't think these are the same beings as the gods from outside...

Very nice to see that incarnation of the Doctor back, if only for a brief moment. I'd love to see more - three seasons and a movie please!

The Machine Stops by E M Forster. A science fiction short story, featuring a global information network, videoconferencing and automated mod-cons, about the dangers of allowing technology to isolate us from reality. Published in 1909.

He's aware that Cassian is checking in under a ditterent name this time, and without the proper Imperial travel documentation. He doesn't know he's a rebel, he just knows he's doing something clandestine and was sympathetic to Ghorman on his last visit.

Yeah, but it's right under a flightpath and there's no soundproofing.

Again, our fortunes vary. :) I order groceries for delivery a couple of times a week, and have rarely had more than a single item substituted or unavailable in any given order. Occasionally the substitution may be something I don't care for (a sandwich with egg in it, for instance), but I can't...

What internet? Nobody has any money to keep network services running, and nobody can afford to connect to them anyway.

I knew the blaster was familiar and thought it was the one Cassian gave him, but I couldn't remember if Vel had any reason to recall it.

He appears in Rogue One, as part of the beach diversion squad.

Anecdotal. I order fast food in the UK and I've had a few wrong orders over the past few years, ranging from missing / substituted items up to an entirely different meal.

Such a shame that K-2SO seems to have lost the blaster-proof armour somewhere along the way between here and Rogue One.

I don't think it'll be at Mon's bidding, but it wouldn't surprise me if Cassian is faced with a similar choice to the one he faces at the start of Rogue One - allow Luthen to fall into Imperial hands, or kill him himself. And it wouldn't surprise me if Luthen approves of his decision.

Yeah, you've gotta wonder how much cult propaganda was out there publicly-accessible and got picked up as part of these AIs' training data. If someone asks an LLM AI a question that would be typically asked of a cult leader, does the AI then just generate a suitably cult-leaderish response...

I think "hated the feel of sand" has that covered.

So, apparently my supermarket is now doing Achievements. :(
